A magical, time-travelling family show that begins with one big question...
“Why do people have different coloured skin?”
Children ask questions. Big ones. Awkward ones. Important ones.
And sometimes, grown-ups don’t know how to answer.
In this joyful and imaginative new theatre show, Alicia sets out to find the truth – journeying across time, meeting historic heroes, hidden heroines, and uncovering surprising stories from Britain’s past.
Blending bold visuals, playful storytelling and unforgettable encounters, this is a heart-filled adventure about identity, belonging, and seeing the world – and each other – more clearly.
Prepare to join in and help bring the show to life, as Alicia’s Amazing Adventure opens up conversations about race, history and who we are – in a way that’s open, honest, and full of wonder.
